Presidential Proclamations
Washington - Obama
The Power to Proclaim ...
by Brandon Rottinghaus, University of Houston
|
|
A presidential proclamation is ?an instrument that states a condition, declares a law and requires obedience, recognizes an event or triggers the implementation of a law (by recognizing that the circumstances in law have been realized)? (Cooper 2002, 116). In short, presidents ?define? situations or conditions on situations that become legal or economic truth. These orders carry the same force of law as executive orders ? the difference between the two is that executive orders are aimed at those inside government while proclamations are aimed at those outside government. The administrative weight of these proclamations is upheld because they are often specifically authorized by congressional statute, making them ?delegated unilateral powers.? Presidential proclamations are often dismissed as a practical presidential tool for policy making because of the perception of proclamations as largely ceremonial or symbolic in nature. However, the legal weight of presidential proclamations suggests their importance to presidential governance. -
